This post is a follow up to the Salmon Teriyaki I posted yesterday. This was the side dish my wife requested. As is my nature, this was a perfect request because it fully rounded out the Asian theme of the meal. All we needed was saki for the perfect finish. Next time with more planning.
Edamame Salad
This Edamame Salad has great texture and a great bite to it. I love the contrast of color that the carrots provide. The dressing is light, yet packed with flavor. It is amazing sometimes how you need only a few ingredients to create deep flavor. The dressing gives you tang, acidity and sweetness. A great trio.
This is a really cool salad. Mainly because there is no lettuce in the salad. I have to explore this idea more with different ingredients. Can anyone share in the comment section below salads you have made without lettuce? Feel free to leave the link for me and other readers to check out. I have also asked a number of my Food Blogger friends from a Facebook group Enjoying Yummy Recipes to share their non-salad recipes with me so I could share them with you. So interspersed in this post are links to their creative recipes and a few pictures sprinkled in too. Hope you enjoy their ideas as well.

Peter, what a delicious roundup! I love these kinds of salads! I’ll be sharing with my fb peeps!
Thx Jasey.
I would serve it in endive leaves or baby Boston lettuce leaves
I like that addition Tien.
Edamame is one of my favorite foods, I need to make this salad and thank you for including my warm tomato salad.
You are so welcome Janette.
This is my kind of salad. I love edamame and it is great that you did not add a bunch of other ingredients to take away from the star.
I make lots of salads without using lettuce but do not blog about them. The kitchen sink variety is, usually, my favorite!
You are funny. You have watched a lot of cooking shows – “edamame was the star”
Edamame is one of my favourite things to snack on.. but never would I have thought to add them into a salad before! What a delicious idea Peter!
I need to take a cue from you and eat these as a healthy snack instead of my potato chips.
Great recipes and thanks for sharing ours!
Thank you Serena.
This salad looks amazing!. Thank you for adding my asian chop salad to your collection 🙂
You are very welcome Elena.
I love edamame! This salad looks great. Thanks so much for adding my Summer Salad to your collection. Everything sounds great!
Peter, your edamame salad is gorgeous and is making me hungry! Thank you for another wonderful post as well as including my recipe in this fantastic collection.
My kids and I eat edamame by the handful! Your salad looks incredible! Thank you for including my Israeli Salad in your post Peter! Nettie
I love edamame. I look forward to the summer when I can pick it up fresh at the farmer’s market and our CSA. Our family eats it like crazy when I get it fresh! Pinning your recipe to try! And thank you for including my lemony kale quinoa salad in your post!
That is a gorgeous looking salad, thanks for including ours in your roundup!
I loved your recipe too Tara.
What wonderful salad with so many links to to explore more fabulous recipes!
Thank you for including one if mine, too!
You are totally welcome. I loved all the ideas shared with me.
